Hoosier Beer and Baseball Geek

I really enjoy baseball and I like to frequent Major League ballparks in Cincinnati and Chicago. But for cheap, family fun, minor league baseball is the way to go. And Indiana has plenty. Professional baseball in Indiana has its first pitch tonight when the Indianapolis Indians face the Toledo Mud Hens at Victory Field in Indianapolis.

But baseball isn't the only thing that local ballparks have to offer. What is baseball without beer? I contacted the five professional ballclubs in Indiana to find out what's on tap. For you beer and baseball geeks, here is your starting lineup:

Although I try to keep my expectations low, I am fairly disappointed in the Vic's non-fizzy-yellow selection when I am there. I believe that all pressure should be brought to bring an increased selection to the Vic! :)

Also, cost is always an issue in these venues. I love the Thirsty Thursday idea!

Incidentally, I was a crowd extra in 'A League of Their Own'. I grew up in Evansville. You can't ever see me, but I can tell you what scenes I was there for. That being said, I'm ashamed they don't have Main Street/Turoni's brews at the ball park.

KOTBR #90 - Medal Winners - We visit Barley Island and Brugge Brasserie in Broad Ripple to try some medal winning beers. Things get interesting when we are joined by some special guests, including Michael Phelps, Rob Halford, Glenn Danzig, and Brugge's very own Ted Miller.

Beer: The Pedal Pusher's Potion - Our first in depth feature receives support from Dogfish Head, Left Hand, Breckenridge Brewery, and Smuttynose, and draws in hits from hundreds of cyclists looking for a beer buzz.
